In my younger years I played in various bands, including military ones, often also tattoos. When HM Royal Marines participated, they still stole the show through their discipline and that is still the case.
Precise marching, drumming and stick drill, as always. As a former member of the Portsmouth Band Corps of Drums way back in the 1960's I'd just like to say these Mess Beatings get better every year. Today's show is purely awesome !!
@@Onthecouch-r5r Drummers / buglers are *not* combat soldiers but fulfill the same role as the band - unlike corps of drums within army infantry regiments. They are separate from the band, but still integrated within the RMBS, and not the 3 Cdo Bde.
THE BEST IN THE WORLD AND HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO MARCH BEHIND THE BOOTIES ON MANY OCCASIONS !! I also served in another government arm with a former Band Major David Dawson RM, I salute you Sir !! From Jack !!
As far as I am aware all Drummers/Buglers used to be trained Royal Marines, by that I mean they earned the right to wear the Green Beret has this changed in recent years?
Can someone tell me why the reviewing Admiral and the gentleman next to him had their tail coat and tuxedo jacket open and not buttoned? Struck me as rather odd to see military men at a formal dinner not totally ship shape. Out of uniform offense?

There's nothing like the sound of some good trebling on a high tension snare. Love it!

Great vDrumming. Such a pleasure to watch and listen .
Brilliant, awesome talent
So well choreographed in step in time the dedication very impressive
I find the drummers fascinating, well done. Best band in the UK I think. Thanks for showing.
UK? How about WORLD?
@@johnsanders2266 Yes, was going to put that, but may have caused an argument lol
Drummers aren't part of the band they're the corps of drums separate from the band. Bandsmen are non combat ie medics
Drummers are combat soldiers

@@gailknight3128 Not to worry! You'd have had many supporters! They are the finest drum corps in the world.
Utterly Superb! No other words for it!
The Band of the Royal Marines are the best in the World
I couldn’t agree more, especially when they are Royal Marines FIRST and bandsmen second. Drum training would be after all other military training.

Good to see lessons learnt from Top Secret Drum Corps being taken into action
Lol yeah right🤔🤣🤔

They are professional musicians and not Royal Marine Commandos. They have a wartime role in support of the Royal Marines though.
@@SimsHandleam I right in saying they are trained as battlefield medics?
Yes, amongst other roles too.
None better.
BZ on that

👍
What was the occasion
well that was ok i guess! (just kidding the internt goons!)
Getting a bit American and flamboyant, a bit too American. Careful.
British ahh beat
A small copy of the Swiss band Top Secrit 😉
Nothing spectacular, Pipe band drumming far superior and more intricate even in low grade pipe bands.
good thing they aren't a pipe band then.
Fantastic
